That's very true, Blue, and I just wish that all true fans would unite by cancelling their Sky subscriptions. So many fans - like you and me - will not get their S/T because of the match times
The way Football has gone lately, though, people will stop watching. I've turned over (from BBC/ITV) a couple of times lately 'cos it's so boring: Southgate's as bad as any, afraid to let go of possession. "Ah, well", he's thinking "we might not have had any shots on goal, but we beat them 70-30 in possession". The way it's going the FA will award 3 points for most possession if it's a draw. The number of times England (in particular) are 2/3 up the pitch, and the ball gets back to Pickford, and then it's passed from right back to left and back to Pickford, who starts again. I can't believe coaches think that possession's so important when you've got top players like Kane and Saka coming back to play keep-ball, and attack-minded Grealish stays at home. Grrrr
